Anchor - A Good Alternative to AudioBoom

Anchor.fm is a free podcasting service that I started using about ten months ago. It has steadily added features throughout the year. If you find yourself looking for a replacement for AudioBoom which this week announced the removal of all free accounts, Anchor.fm is a service that you should try.

Here are some highlights of Anchor.fm:

Record by simply holding down the record button the Anchor.fm Android or iOS app.

Publish recordings to your Anchor channel or publish directly to iTunes or Google Play. Learn how in this video.

Have your spoken words automatically transcribed and displayed in a video suitable for posting on YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter. See a demonstration in this video.

Import audio from other sources to use as bumper music.

A "call in" feature lets users speak responses to your podcast (if it is published on an Anchor channel).

You can find some other alternatives to AudioBoom in this post that I published on Monday.
